On the June 10 episode of SmackDown, there will be the first Money in the Bank qualifier match. It will also mark the in-ring return of Lacey Evans as she takes on Xia Li. The Money in the Bank event takes place on July 2.
Evans has been bounced around between Raw and SmackDown since her return was announced and it seems as though she has finally made her home on the blue brand. Her last match was in February 2021 when she faced Charlotte Flair. She was scheduled to team up with Peyton Royce on the Feb. 15 episode to take on Flair & Asuka but she made her announcement that she was pregnant.
Per WWE:
For weeks, Lacey Evans shared the hardships of her past that have made her the extraordinary Superstar she is today. Now, Evans will make her highly anticipated blue brand return to the ring in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match. It will be no easy task, however, as she will be standing across from Xia Li, a dangerous Superstar whose own tough past has made her a force to be reckoned with.
Who will punch their ticket to the July 2 Money in the Bank Ladder Match by becoming the first entry in the 2022 Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. The electric showdown on July 2 will feature many of the best Superstars in WWE as they fight to ascend the ladder and seize the coveted Money in the Bank contract, which they can cash in for a World Championship Match whenever and wherever they choose.
